DH106 Comet 1A F-BGNX Restoration

Touching the last remaining part of a Sea Hornet was very special

You can see the aircraft being restored and interesting exhibits.

As a Hertfordshire lad by birth, I should have known about this place years ago. But glad I’ve found it now. Many have described it as a ‘Gem’ and it really is. It’s so important that the memory and history of the great De Havilland organisation is remembered and passed on to future generations.

I think this was the big attraction for me.As other people have said there are a number of aircraft outside and exposed to the elements and slowly deteriorating but the Museum know this and are fundraising for another hangar.

There are lots of curators around who are only too pleased to give information on the history of the various exhibits. Well worth the entrance fee!

A truly great collection and friendly, enthusiastic volunteers.

We had a lovely day out. We really enjoyed all of the brilliant exhibits!

The guide in Hangar E was very informative and helpful.

I liked the Horsa Glider.

It was a very good opportunity to learn about British aviation history and very enjoyable for kids too. I will definitely recommend this museum. True that it could be better kept, but definitely worth it for the aviation enthusiast.
